This volume proposes a fresh strategy for ecumenical engagement --
"Receptive Ecumenism" -- that is fitted to the challenges of the
contemporary context and has already been internationally
recognized as making a distinctive and important new contribution
to ecumenical thought and practice. Beyond this, the volume tests
and illustrates this proposal by examining what Roman Catholicism
in particular might fruitfully learn from its ecumenical others.
Challenging the tendency for ecumenical studies to ask, whether
explicitly or implicitly, "What do our others need to learn from
us?" this volume presents a radical challenge to see ecumenism move
forward into action by highlighting the opposite question "hat can
we learn with integrity from our others?"
This approach is not simply ecumenism as shared mission, or
ecumenism as problem-solving and incremental agreement but
ecumenism as a vital long-term program of individual, communal and
structural conversion driven, like the Gospel that inspires it, by
the promise of conversion into greater life and flourishing. The
aim is for the Christian traditions to become more, not less, than
they currently are by learning from, or receiving of, each other's
gifts.
The 32 original essays that have been written for this unique
volume explore these issues from a wide variety of denominational
and disciplinary perspectives, drawing together ecclesiologists,
professional ecumenists, sociologists, psychologists, and
organizational experts.
